The cast of 19 includes professional actors as well as veteran members of the military. Former Pittsburgh Steeler and Vietnam vet Rocky Bleier, and KDKA's Larry Richert, will each appear as Judge Randolph at select performances. "This play is an incredible opportunity to gather gifted professionals and citizen artists together to tell this story with grit, authenticity, and passion. We expect this to be an event that marks a great moment for us at Pittsburgh Public Theater - of robust imagination and collaboration," Ms. Kaminski said.
A Few Good Men is set in 1986 in Washington D.C. and Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. The story concerns two young Marines, Harold Dawson (Ryan Patrick Kearney) and Louden Downey (Michael Patrick Trimm), accused of killing one of their fellow platoon members while serving at Guantanamo Bay. Assigned to defend them is hotshot lawyer Daniel A. Kaffee (Doug Harris), who has more experience with plea bargains than courtroom battles. But lawyer JoAnne Galloway (Alison Weisgall) believes there are extenuating circumstances that need to be brought up at trial. Even though that means going up against tough-as-nails Colonel Nathan Jessep (Burke Moses), the Commanding Officer at Guantanamo Bay. With wit and Sorkin's trademark rapid-fire dialogue, this hard-hitting story culminates in a blazing military court martial.
Also featured in A Few Good Men are Ryan Bergman, Ken Bolden, Monteze Freeland, Kyle Haden, Billy Jenkins, Tom Kolos, Jason McCune, Jaron J. McLain, J. Alex Noble, Brandon Saturley, Cotter Smith, and Malic Williams.
The design team for Pittsburgh Public Theater's production of A Few Good Men is Ryan Howell (Scenic), Hugh Hanson (Costumes), Sherrice Mojgani (Lighting), Erin Bednarz (Sound), and Joe Spinogatti (Projection Design). Mariel Greenlee is the Choreographer, Randy Kovitz is the Fight Director, Raecine Singletary is the Assistant Director, and Casting is by Pat McCorkle. Pamela Brusoski is the Production Stage Manager and Rebecca C. Monroe is the Assistant Stage Manager. U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Major Billy Jenkins is serving as the Military Consultant.
